Acoustic Detection Data for Cod and Haddock at Offshore Wind Farms

Acoustic detection data tracks tagged cod and haddock, alongside receiver array metadata, to study marine mammal predation events. The dataset was authored by Anthony Bicknell and released on figshare in March 2026. It is licensed under CC-BY-4.0.

Use Cases

• Analyze predation risk by correlating marine mammal acoustic detections with tagged fish locations.
• Assess fish behavior near infrastructure using acoustic tracking data from cod and haddock.
• Evaluate spatial overlap between predator presence and prey species using receiver array metadata.

Strengths

• Data specifically targets predation events at offshore wind farms, a niche research area.
• Includes both fish tracking data and acoustic receiver metadata for contextual analysis.

Limitations

• Sample size, row count, and temporal coverage are unknown, limiting statistical power assessment.
• Geographic scope and specific fish species counts (cod, haddock) are not quantified.
